amp wiring question

[mechanic021]

I have 3 amps im putting in my truck. 1 200 watt max amp, 1 400 watt max amp, and 1 300 watt max amp. the 200 and 400 watt amps will power speakers and the 300 watt will power a sub woofer. My question is how should I power these 3 amps? I have a 4 guage power wire running to the battery for the 2 amps I have already, can I get a 4 way disto block and safey power all 3 amps with this one 4 guage wire ? Or would it be safer to run a seperate power wire for the one the amps and just continue to use the 4 guage for the 2 speaker amps?

A distribution block will be fine, just make sure to match the proper fuse with the proper amp.

do you know of any places to get one for less than an arm and a leg?

They're like... $25 for a good one. Cartoys should be fine if you need it right away. I'd buy off eBay though.
